6L80 Clutch Module 2006, new and ready to install. Fits the 6L80. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 6L80 slips in Reverse, flares on the 2-3, or smells burnt when you pull the pan, the friction plates are usually what is gone. This clutch module is the BorgWarner friction set for the GM 6L80, OE number 34352KIT, listed for 2006 and later units. It carries the friction discs only, which is how most builders buy them: frictions from the OE supplier, steels inspected and reused or replaced as needed. It is a common pick for an early first-generation unit out of a 2006-2009 Corvette, a Cadillac STS-V or XLR, or a 2007-2008 Silverado, Sierra or Escalade.
The 6L80 builds six forward speeds from five clutches and no bands. Two of them, 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R, rotate inside the input housing; 4-5-6 also rotates, while 2-6 and low/reverse hold against the case. Every shift is one clutch releasing while another applies, so a friction pack that has lost material lets the engine flare before the next clutch takes hold. The 3-5-R pack works in third, fifth and Reverse, which is why it is the one most often found burnt.
On early units the frictions are often the victim, not the root problem. GM's bulletin for 2006-2009 6L80 vehicles traces these same symptoms to a cracked 1-2-3-4 / 3-5-R housing weld, and the harsh 2-3 to leaking one-piece seal rings on the pump cover. New plates in a cracked housing burn up again. Do the soap-and-air check on the housing during teardown, and read the 6L80/6L90 3-5-R clutch failure guide and the 6L80 Corvette common problems guide for the early-car specifics.
Listed for the GM 6L80 and 6L80E from 2006 on: Corvette (2006-2013), Camaro with the 6.2L (2010-2015), and the 2007-on Silverado and Sierra 1500, Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche, Yukon and Escalade. It is not for the 6L90 used in heavier trucks. The 6L80 went through internal changes, including the 2008 piston and housing update, so count the plates you remove from each pack and compare them to this set before assembly. If you want us to check, send the year and VIN. The rest of the unit's parts are in the 6L80 collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is the friction discs only. Reuse your steels if they are flat and clean, or replace them with a steel plate kit if they are blued, scored or coned.
Yes. The listing gives BorgWarner OE number 34352KIT. BorgWarner supplies 6L80 frictions to GM.
It is listed for 6L80 and 6L80E units from 2006 on, including 2006-2013 Corvette and 2007-on Silverado and Sierra 1500. Count your plates on teardown and send us your year and VIN if you want a second check.
No. This set is not listed for the 6L90 used in heavier-duty trucks.
On 2006-2009 units GM documented a cracked 1-2-3-4 / 3-5-R housing weld and leaking pump cover seal rings. A sticking 3-5-R regulator valve can also do it. Fix the cause or the new frictions will fail too.
At least 30 minutes in DEXRON VI before assembly, then set clearance and air check each pack.
